Cel

The reduction in overall CO2 emissions to atmosphere is a major goal of the Community. However, technical options for CO2 capture from coal-fired power plants are not readily available.

This project will improve understanding of the engineering (and hence financial) practicality of the three main technologies being assessed for CO2 capture (pre-gasification, oxy-fuel combustion and sorption from flue gas) and analyse one of the most potentially attractive mechanisms for economic sequestration (enhanced coal-bed methane).

Its successful completion will lead to a significant improvement in the ability of plant operators to assess the viability of abatement options potentially available to them.
